i would love for phil to open up the confessions on tumblr again so people can add more context to their stories (ie the ziploc bag one) but i want dan to curate them so he’s cold reading. obv they couldn’t be too long but

i think he should create an email for these types of videos so that people can be as brief or as long-winded as they want to! Phil should really commit to this being a series and get into people's personal dramas. I think that's what keeps him going in life and he would love it

WHO ARE THE GAY ENSTARS MEN ?! THE ONE WITH THE BLUE HAIR ?? THEIR ROMANCE WAS WORLD SHATTERING? ! I AM DESPERATE AND DEHYDRATED WHO ARE THEY

alright. i know you asked me this because im the Enstars Person you know so while i am not the expert on this i will try my best to answer! also drink water bestie

ok so im assuming you are talking about wataei because of the ship wars thing. and theyre the only ones i can think of that ive seen described like that recently.

alright so theres a common joke that eichi (blond one) started the war (massive social and school politics effort to reform the idol system in yumenosaki academy) because he had a crush on wataru (blue hair one). this is not true eichi started the war because he loves idols and wanted to make a fairer system for them.

this reform effort actually happened in two stages: the war was the first stage, where eichi made the five eccentrics the scapegoats for all the vices of the school, which worked because they were so good at being idols everyone saw them as otherworldly and not one of the rest of the human students. eichi, with his power as both student council president and Local Hella Rich Guy, orchestrated a battle of the bands system where he and his unit, fine (usually in this period referred to by fans as ex-fine) defeated each of the five eccentrics and brought supposedly equal chances for the students at the school. the main part of this rhetoric relied on framing the eccentrics as godlike beings, and fine as just regular humans, to show the student body that with hard work, even regular people can rise to great heights.

part of this whole situation was wataru. Wataru was one of the original members of the five eccentrics, and eichi greatly admired him and his skills. a secondary motivation, for eichi specifically, was to raise himself to the same level as wataru so they could communicate as equals. so like yeah he had a crush on the guy but that wasn't his main motivation.

wataru is a fascinating character. he has layers (like an onion) and he is always acting and rarely shows his "true self" and often talks about narratives and such in a very meta perspective (eichi talks this way a lot too, which is why theres so many monologues in enstars, but eichi views himself as just some guy while wataru views himself as the ultimate actor). wataru was also the last of the eccentrics to be defeated by fine. natsume, the youngest of the eccentrics, caught onto the fact that wataru was acting according to the "script" of the war (because he agreed with eichis ideas of reforming yumenosaki), so natsume wrote his own script where the eccentrics won. unfortunately, wataru discarded the idea, essentially For The Sake Of The Narrative. (natsume ended up burning the script, which is an interesting parallel to tsumugi burning the records of the deeds ex-fine did during the war, but thats another matter.) so wataru lost, as he was Supposed To, and eichi and ex-fine won the war for yumenosaki.

up until now eichi and wataru have been distant, only interacting occasionally (including one conversation where wataru has stuff to say about acting, or whatever. its all very meta of them). but after this, eichi is hospitalized, and rips out his IVs and such and refuses to let any of the nurses treat him. Wataru climbs in through the window of his hospital room to find him like this, and essentially asks him: What Now? they start talking about the results of the war, and the future, and they essentially write a script for how yumenosaki can change further for the better: this is Stage Two, trickstar's revolution. only when they plotted it they didnt know it would be trickstar, or the extent to which they would change things. because eichi, in the war, made himself and ex-fine powerful enough to defeat the eccentrics, which gave the students hope; but he did this through the power of being rich and also student council president, and other things like tsumugi's connections to basically everyone in the school. so he ended up having the school in basically a tyrannical rule, but that still wasn't the best environment to encourage idols to grow. so eichi and wataru wrote out a plan for an idol group to overthrow eichi himself, and bring about full change.

basically wataru and eichi combined have orchestrated the majority of the narrative of both the war era and the ! era stories. also they both know each other so intimately on a psychological level. youve probably heard people talk about wataei proposal and that is referring to the last story of the ! era game, where wataru and eichi met on the roof of yumenosaki one night and had a deep conversation-- i dont know all the details because i havent read it in full, but wataru offers eichi one of his theater masks and eichi recognizes the gesture as wataru offering him all of himself, to be wholly known and understood. eichi accepts the mask and yeah you get the point theyre so in love its ridiculous

i find it funny that Machete is scared of horses, seeing that they share so much in common (long, anxious, scared of puddles)

Horses just happen to be big, strong, fast and unpredictable in a way he really doesn't jive with.

still thinkin abt the etho skizz Oarallels in session 7 btw. they can be your angle or yuor devil (as long as “you” means “zombiecleo”). etho’s advice was ultimately harmless in the long run (other than losing scott a heart) whereas skizz’s was well-intentioned but ultimately led to more chaos (giving bdubs a diamond helped gear him up when he was a zombie i think? and scar was tasked to be the villain of the server so “helping him” was technically an evil act).

and then they get zombie’d and it just parallels more. etho, the devil, risks his own life to fail the zombie task and protect his teammates, whereas skizz, the angel, risks his own life to target his team harder than anyone else so they can join him in zombification. are you seeing this

I am seeing this and I am going nuts over it. The devil isn't a evil has he's made out to be and the angel causes more harm in the long run.

The devil would rather keep his teammates safe while risking his own life and staying alone, while the angel wants the company of his teammates and isn't afraid to do whatever it takes to get them on his side.

They both have good intentions and yet, the devil did more good then bad, and the angel couldn't be as good as he wanted.

Just- *chewing on the bars of my enclosure*

i just think it would be neat if armand was a creepy little inhuman angel whose actions keep teetering dangerously close to falling but he toes the line and god watches him "seduce" brother de lioncourt like an owner making sure a dog doesn't jump up on the couch 😒 per the RULES

lestat "i know god intimately" de lioncourt vs. armand "I'll take you to god if youre good" no last name

santino and marius are there. bickering over the little brothers and how to lead them.

honestly losing my mind over this lmfao i've had a priest!lestat x angel!armand au in my drafts since 2022 and like i'm scared to look at it now but oh my god it's such a great trope????

ARMAND MY BELOVED HORRIFYING LITTLE ANGEL 🥹 look at him, he's perfect askjshs fucking yelling at god thisclose to being sick of his shit

one thing i really love to think about lestat from a religious angle is that in canon he never buys into it the way armand does but what he DOES buy into is the desire to "be good" like ever since he was a child! and thinking about who in a child's life decides what's good and what's bad? especially in the european 1700s, a lot of it was driven by the morals of the church regardless of how much you believed in it.

but not to get meta lmao bc i'm here for the religion kink tonight and i think there's SO MANY THINGS filthy "two inches away from falling out of heaven and onto that nine inch dick" angel armand can get lestat to do under the persuasion of "being good for god and taking care of his most precious angels" 🫢

filthy stuff, stuff right on the altar. perhaps even making lestat stuff himself on the altar. and that's just to begin with. there's so much you can do with crucifixes and the flagellation and deprivation rituals that holy men would practice "to get closer to god and armand"

it's really so horny, i can't stand it! 😭

Can Dipper pick Bill up? Has he ever tried? What would Bill's reaction be to his little human husband carrying (or trying to) him, and under what circumstances would either of them agree to it?

Good question!

I'm not sure if Dipper can pick Bill up - certainly not an easy task, Bill's taller and a handful in more than one way. Probably Dipper makes the attempt out of retaliation. Bill wants to pick up Dipper all the time? Fine! Let's see how Bill likes being manhandled for once.

Unfortunately for this plan, Bill's entirely fine with being man- or demon-handled! Frankly the whole thing would be deeply amusing. Bill gets not only attention, but also an opportunity to tease Dipper AND mock him while he struggles. A triple win!
